Just by curiosity, can you tell me how many successful

year ?
Just out of curiosity, how many games have been released based
on a C++ game engine in 1998 ?
The original Unreal engine was almost completely written in
asm, back in the late 90ies.
The first C++ game engine I found was the Object Oriented
Graphical Redering Engine, started some time around 2001.
Carmack resisted C++ for a longer time and I believe I read
something about the engine was ported to C++ when they
developed Id Tech 4 around 2004.
Actually, as I said, even today many game engines are still
written in a C-inspired manner, i.e. C + classes, templates and
polymorphism, mainly for performance reasons (cache friendly data
oriented designs, etc).
